Fresh Strawberry Pie

 Get ready to thank me! Get ready to sing my praises! I am about to show you a recipe for a delicious strawberry pie that will knock your socks off.  I am telling you this pie is refreshing and light and will make you dream of  summers at the lake (or a beach, if you are lucky). For this recipe you can make your own pie crust, which consists of crushed graham crackers, butter, and sugar, for this time making it (and there will be more times and for that I am sure) I used a premade crust.  I bought 1 lb. of strawberries and got this awesome strawberry huller, which if your family likes strawberries its deffinitely a good buy.

Ingredients:
1 C. Sugar
1 C. Water
3 Tbsp. Strawberry Gelatin
1 lb. Fresh Strawberries
3 Heaping Tbsp. Cornstarch
1 Pie Crust

Directions:
1.  Mix together the cornstarch, dry gelatin, and sugar.
2.  Add the water and cook over medium heat, constantly stir until the gelatin becomes thick and clear.  Once the mixture becomes thick, remove it from the heat and let it cool.

3.  Meanwhile wash, hull and half the strawberries, then arrange them over the pie crust.

4.  Once the gelatin mixture is cooled, pour it over the strawberries and let the pie chill in the refigerator.

This pie get better and better the colder it gets.  For those of you who are not the biggest fans of Jello, either is my husband and I promise he was in love with this pie and has already asked me to make it again (we haven't finished the current pie).  Its sweeter and thicker than normal jello and trust me much tastier too.  This pie tastes like you put hours of work into into it, which you don't need to.  Please once this summer make this pie and serve it with some whipped cream.

ENJOY!
